Paranoia will destroy Ya!
Why does it feel like this SARS stuff is happening somewhere else? I mean is there some weird parallel universe that we're getting our news from?
I'm sitting across the table from my co-worker Dave at lunch on Thursday. We're sitting in the Food Court, which is pretty well the only source of food within walking distance. The real weirdness of North York is that you're in prime office locations, you know the ones that make you pay for monthly parking: I wish I'd got a job in the sticks somewhere...but there's no food within walking distances like downtown or Yonge and Bloor. So this little food court with only a handful of
If you believe the tone of the news coverage in Toronto you'd believe that everyone would be in masks and that a plague had descended upon us and that judgement was nigh, but I digress...
I see zero evidence of paranoia in the crowded food court. No masks, no weirdness.
Dave and I are both eating teriyaki chicken. We eat at about the same speed (buzzsaw!) and the food is disappearing at a good pace. We're about halfway through when Dave stops eating, gets up excusing himself, and goes to the restroom. I'm sitting there eating the rest of my food. I notice Dave in the lineup at McDonald's, while his half-eaten teriyaki chicken is on the table in front of me...
Ever get that weird feeling, that compulsion to look at the accident that's messing up the on-coming traffic? I believe the term is rubber-necking. I complain about the bastards that do it when they're in the line ahead of me, but I do it myself...Well I'm getting this feeling now: I have to know WHY Dave isn't eating his teriyaki chicken.
